1964 Map of Prickly Pear Branch

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The winding West Fork Trinity River anchors this mid-century survey along the border of Archer Co and Young Co. In the early 1960s, the landscape was defined by the intersection of riparian geography and energy extraction, characterized by an extensive Oil Field and scattered Oil Wells across the northern sections. Numerous drainages, including Burns Creek and the eponymous Prickly Pear Branch, weave through the terrain toward the Trinity River, reflecting the natural hydrology that shaped local land use and boundaries. The placement of well sites alongside these watercourses illustrates the spatial relationship between Texas's 20th-century petroleum industry and its physical environment.
